Weekday opening times

| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | A gentle start to the week, with a lunchtime lift from nearby workplaces. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening greyhounds and all-weather racing carry trade through to close. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Big-match nights fill the screens and the counter from early evening. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | European football and evening racing keep the shop ticking over late. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busiest weekday: lunchtime and after-work visitors, plus weekend accas. |
Weekend opening times
Saturday opens earlier than any other day. Sunday opens latest but still trades late.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | The week’s busiest day, from the morning racing to the late football. |

Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales may trade on every bank holiday, with one exception. Under the Gambling Act 2005, every betting premises licence carries a condition that the premises cannot be used to provide gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so this shop is closed on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred Church Street.
Easter opening times
From Good Friday to Easter Monday, expect the normal weekly pattern in Bilston. Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 09:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Good Friday has carried British racing since 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first staged on it, so there is a proper afternoon card alongside football and greyhounds. Easter Monday is one of the fullest jumps racing days of the spring.
May bank holiday opening times
There are two May bank holidays: the early May Monday and the spring bank holiday at the end of the month. Both are normal Monday trading days here.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
August bank holiday opening times
Normal Monday times apply on the summer bank holiday. With racing across the country, the shop fills up from lunchtime.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| Day | Date | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| 27 to 30 December | Between the holidays | — | Normal times, close 20:00 – 22:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve at Betfred Church Street usually means a 09:00 open and an early close at about 18:00. Racing fills the afternoon, so that is the busiest spell; if you need to collect winnings, go before late afternoon.
Boxing Day
Expect a normal opening time on Boxing Day and an earlier close at around 20:00. With the King George VI Chase at Kempton and meetings across the country, the afternoon is very busy.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
Expect an early finish on 31 December, usually about 18:00, after a normal morning start. The evening is quiet, so get any bets on during the day.
New Year’s Day
On 1 January, Betfred Church Street normally opens around 10:00 and closes around 20:00. There is a full jumps racing programme, so it is a proper trading day, just a shorter one.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops locally usually follow. Individual branches set their own festive times and a card is normally posted in the window from around mid-December. Check that card or the Betfred store finder before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Church Street, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on how it behaves:
What the status means
The flag reads Open during published trading times and Closed outside them. While the shop is closed, the countdown shows the time until it next opens; while it is open, it shows the time until closing, which matters most in the last hour.
Last bets and settling up
Cash betting at the counter stops a few minutes before the published close while staff settle slips and cash up. If you have winnings to collect at Betfred Church Street, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
Getting there
Use the buttons at the top of the page to open the shop in Google Maps, plot a route from your current position, or preview the street in Street View. The Bilston Central tram stop, on the Metro line between Wolverhampton and Birmingham, is a few minutes’ walk. Buses run along Church Street, and Coseley station is about a mile and a half south.
